Officially, I'm not sure if Brian is credited as having produced anything after PET SOUNDS and before 15 BIG ONES. Unofficially, it's clear he had his hand in some sessions during the ensuing years after 1966. The question is: which albums/songs?

Check the credits on 20/20, and the relevant tracks as included on 10 Years Of Harmony, the 1993 box set, Endless Harmony and Hawthorne CA. I hear the album's section of this site - Bellagio 10452 - has additional info which, although unofficial, is drawn from most reliable sources (that is, because I damn well say so ).

May be wrong but I think he produced some ditty called "Good Vibrations"...

some of "Spring/American Spring", a strange version of "Why do fools fall in love", and apparently an unreleased country album..

Well that's telling me and no mistake. Nearly 40 years a fan & researcher and I never knew those were Beach Boys projects. I'm an utter disgrace to the Researcher's Guild: I shall hand in my badge and credentials forthwith.

Well I can say that we know for sure he was credited as the produced of "Child of Winter" from 1974. So there's that.

Also, even though most (all?) of the albums from this era bore a "Produced by The Beach Boys" tag, some of the more recent collections have actually gone a bit more in depth and I'm pretty sure that a bunch of songs such as "Surf's Up", "This Whole World", "I Went To Sleep", "Funky Pretty", "'Til I Die" and a few others were credited as "Produced by Brian & Carl Wilson". Now I might be wrong as I don't have any of the liner notes in front of me, but I'm pretty sure.

Unfortunately for you Josh, the topic was "Between 1967 and 1976 what albums/songs did Brian produce for the Beach Boys?" and all the stuff you listed was non-Beach Boys. But helpful nonetheless I suppose.

You are indeed correct sir.

Rumor has it he also produced a bunch of track for an unreleased 1967 post-Pet Sounds album... but hey, what do I know ?

I expressed on the Hoffman board that although each were credited to the Beach Boys, my strong suspicion is that Brian produced all or nearly all of Smiley Smile, Wild Honey and Friends, maybe even one of the two Dennis tracks on the latter. Wasn't there an extensive mono mixing session (was it Be With Me or Little Bird?) for which Brian was said to be "at the helm"?

...but anyway you count them, that's not a lot. Damn shame, he was pretty good at it whenever he got around to do it.

Personally I think he did some of his very best work in those years and maybe that's because he didn't have to come up with an album's worth of new material every couple of months. He clearly had lost some of his drive to be the leader of the group and maybe ideas weren't coming as easily or as quickly as before. Still, whenever he came up with something it was always totally brilliant. I mean, I Went to Sleep, 'Til I Die, Life of a Tree, Mess of Help, Mt. Vernon and Fairway... all this stuff is just incredibly unique!

You're right, Phirnis... But still! One of the greatest musical minds was creatively in his prime (at least qualitywise, if not volume) and he managed to finish only about three songs a year! Well, the guy was not well, but it IS a bit frustrating to think about.
